Analysis of cell lineage relationships in taste buds.
Taste buds are a heterogeneous population of cells exhibiting diverse morphological and biochemical characteristics. Because taste buds arise from multiple progenitors, the different types of taste cells may represent distinct lineages. The present study was undertaken to determine the following: (1) how many progenitors contribute to a taste bud, and (2) whether the specific subpopulation of s...
متن کاملTemporal changes in NCAM immunoreactivity during taste cell differentiation and cell lineage relationships in taste buds.
Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a type III cell marker in the taste buds. In order to clarify the cell type of Mash1-expressing cells in taste buds, expression of NCAM was examined in Mash1-expressing taste cells of adult mice in comparison with gustducin- and T1r3-expressing cells, using a combination of NCAM immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. About 98% of Mash1-expressing...
متن کاملCell types and lineages in taste buds.
Taste buds are the sensory endorgans for gustation. In mammals, taste buds comprise a collection of ~50–100 elongate epithelial cells and a small number of proliferative basal cells. Ultrastructural studies reveal three distinct anatomical types of elongate taste cells within each taste bud: Type I, Type II and Type III, first defined by Murray based on his studies of rabbit foliate taste buds ...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Analysis of Human Vallate Taste Buds.
The morphology of the vallate papillae from postmortem human samples was investigated with immunohistochemistry. Microscopically, taste buds were present along the inner wall of the papilla, and in some cases in the outer wall as well. The typical taste cell markers PLCβ2, GNAT3 (gustducin) and the T1R3 receptor stain elongated cells in human taste buds consistent with the Type II cells in rode...
متن کاملIdentification of electrophysiologically distinct cell subpopulations in Necturus taste buds
We used the patch clamp technique to record from taste cells in thin transverse slices of lingual epithelium from Necturus maculosus. In this preparation, the epithelial polarity and the cellular organization of the taste buds, as well as the interrelationships among cells within the taste bud, were preserved. Whole-cell recording, combined with cell identification using Lucifer yellow, allowed...
